Dental Flap Surgery

Targeted Gum Treatment. Better Healing. Long-Term Protection.

When gum disease reaches an advanced stage, simple cleanings may not be enough. Dental flap surgery is a specialized procedure that allows dentists to clean deeply below the gumline, remove infection, and restore gum health. 

At Dental De Care, our expert periodontists perform flap surgeries with precision, ensuring better outcomes and faster recovery.

What Is Dental Flap Surgery?

Dental flap surgery is a periodontal procedure where the gums are carefully lifted (or “flapped”) to allow deep cleaning of the tooth roots and surrounding bone. 

Once the infection is removed, the gums are repositioned and sutured for proper healing.

This procedure is often recommended for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis — where routine scaling and root planing are no longer sufficient.

Why Is Flap Surgery Needed?

  • Gum diseases can lead to:

    • Deep pockets between teeth and gums

    • Bone loss around teeth

    • Persistent bleeding or swelling

    • Loose or shifting teeth

    • Bad breath that doesn’t go away

    When gum pockets are too deep to clean non-surgically, flap surgery helps remove bacteria, reduce pocket depth, and preserve natural teeth.

Benefits of Flap Surgery

  • Choosing flap surgery at Dental De Care comes with several advantages:

    • Deep cleaning of infected areas

    • Reduces gum pockets and bleeding

    • Prevents further bone and tooth loss

    • Promotes gum reattachment for stability

    • Supports long-term oral health

    • Improves breath and gum appearance
